The first Ultra in the Series 7 family is designed as an ultrabook for multimedia, featuring a Full HD display brighter and wider than previous models with a 178-degree viewing angle, along with JBL optimized speakers and AMD graphics. Up to eight hours of battery life keeps users connected all day, while the latest Intel Core i5 or i7 processors and up to 256GB SSD of storage provide the computing power required by even the most demanding users.
